Terry Pratchett taught me to love footnotes. Endnotes though? Might as well not be there for all the back and forth to find the correct one

*especially* fun when reading books or articles in any electronic format which doesn’t hyperlink them—which is pretty much every academic journal or e-book I’ve ever encountered

The thing that made me love David Foster Wallace's essays was a profile he did for the Atlantic where the footnotes had footnotes which had footnotes. But endnotes are terrible.

I totally sympathize with people who used endnotes back when you had to manually arrange the footnotes, but with modern software there's really no excuse unless you're writing an extremely short (like 3 pages) essay.

I'm now reading an article from a 1970 issue of Studies in Medieval and Renaissance History and I would like to amend my opinion to say "If you cannot insert a line to separate the end of the body from the beginning of the footnotes on each page, then use endnotes." So confusing!

Footnotes for comments that a reader might be curious about, endnotes for references to source material that just break the flow.

Oh no, never use both footnotes and endnotes. That just gets terribly confusing. Just use footnotes. Endnotes basically only exist because publishers think footnotes will scare away the easily frightened general reader.
